"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects? that the same authority which can force a citizen to contribute three pence only of his property for the support of any one establishment, may force him to conform to any other establishment in all cases whatsoever?" James Madison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I think George Bush is going to win in a walk... I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way." Pat Robertson The Southern California Grocery Strike Continues: Action! from Action Alert: Ford Motor Company Send a free fax to End U.S. Oil Addiction Ford cars and trucks account for approximately nine percent of the total annual U.S. oil consumption, and get fewer miles per gallon than they did 20 years ago. In fact, many Ford vehicles on the road today get fewer miles per gallon than did the Model-T 80 years ago! Ford has the technology and know-how to increase fuel economy to 50 mpg by 2010 and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2020. But the company lacks the will to innovate. As a symbol of American entrepreneurship, Ford should commit to doing everything it can to break our addiction to oil. Please contact Ford CEO and Chairman William Clay Ford, Jr. today and tell him you think his company should be doing everything it can to break our addiction to oil. Tell Mr. Ford you believe that having a strong economy, a safe planet, and a secure nation depends on kicking the petroleum habit.

Saturday, January 10, 2004 LA Convention Center 12:00 noon Our over reliance on cars endangers everyone from our sisters and brothers in the Third World to communities of color in the United States to everyone who takes a breath everyday, everywhere. Pollution from our primitive, gas-guzzling vehicles poisons the air, damages children’s lungs, leads to cancer and is a major contributor to Global Warming. The economy shudders with every increase in fuel costs. In LA, predominantly Latino, Black, Asian and white working class communities are reliant on under funded mass transit systems and are hard pressed just to get from home to work. Join the call for no more business-as-usual. more information: Sunday January 18, 2004 St. John's Episcopal Church 3:00 pm Keynote Speaker: Tuesday January 20, 2004 All Saints Church 6:00 pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whittier Sherman Oaks 6:00 pm Wednesday, January 28, 2004 Actors Gang Theatre 8:00 pm This is a fundraiser for ICUJP and tickets will be $25.(If anyone wishes to pay more than $25 a ticket, we will be able to sell some tickets to seniors/students/etc. at less than face value)
Tickets are limited, so please R.S.V.P. to Adrienne Goldstone by e-mail I wish to encourage you to attend the play, "Embedded." Saw it the other night and I must say that Tim Robbins does a great job bringing home the plight of American soldiers fighting this benighted war as well as spotlighting neoconservative guru Leo Strauss. And the play was fun too – glad we have such theater here in LA. Jonathan Parfrey
